EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Map of the Siege of St. Jean d Acre" takes us back to a significant moment in history - the French Revolutionary Wars and the French invasion of Egypt. Published by William Blackwood and Sons in 1848, this map provides a detailed aerial view of the siege that took place from March 20th to May 21st, 1799. The intricate cartography skillfully depicts the positions and movements of various armies involved in this historic conflict. The Ottoman forces defending St. Jean d'Acre are pitted against British troops supporting local resistance fighters, as well as French invaders seeking control over Egypt and Syria. As we examine this piece closely, it becomes evident that every element has been meticulously crafted by Alexander Keith Johnston. His expertise shines through in his ability to capture both strategic military details and geographical accuracy. This map not only serves as an invaluable historical document but also showcases the artistry behind cartography during the nineteenth century. The hand-colouring adds depth and vibrancy to each section, making it visually engaging for viewers even after centuries have passed since its creation. Preserved within a private collection today, this print allows us to delve into a crucial chapter in world history while appreciating the craftsmanship that went into producing such remarkable pieces of art.
